Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F and gently greasing a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
2. Get the eggs nice and foamy by whisking them together in a big basin. The eggs you’re using as a foundation are strong and stable.
Third, combine the eggs with the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses by stirring the two together.
4. Put the salt, baking powder, and flour into a separate basin and sift them together. Add this to the egg mixture with the cheese and gently fold it in. That delightful airiness is something we must preserve.
5. Next, add the melted butter and milk while whisking constantly to combine. You should now have a batter that looks warm and inviting.
6. Gently, with the care of tucking a tiny one into bed, fold in the green chilies. Make sure that every square gets a good distribution of those delicious chiles.
7. After preparing the casserole dish, spread the batter evenly in it. Pat down the top to level it out, much as you would a newly made bed.
The squares should be golden and set after 35 to 45 minutes in a preheated oven, much like the sun setting behind the cornfields.
9. After a little cooling, slice into squares. They will leave as quickly as children when it’s time to wash the dishes if served warm.
Changes & Suggestions – If you like it a little hotter, add some crushed red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeño for an additional kick. – Incorporate cooked, crumbled bacon or sliced ham into the batter just before incorporating the green chiles for a meatier variation.
– A To appease a finicky diner, you may either lessen the quantity of green chiles or provide an alternative side dish without chiles.
– A You won’t believe how well these squares freeze! After they’ve cooled, slice them and store in the freezer for a fast snack or side dish anytime.
– A To prevent the canned chiles from contributing more moisture to the squares, be sure to drain them well.
Sharing a handmade dish with loved ones is the best way to brighten up a family meal. Serving these Green Chile Cheese Squares is like presenting a work of art rather than a mere meal. Tasty is the word!
